    Bee is friend

    Most small wasp is friend

    Large wasp is angry man with small knife

    Hornet is weird friend with sword

    Fly and mosquito are piece of shit

    The rule of thumb is simply, don’t bother it, and it won’t bother you. I don’t bother killing insects unless there’s a possibility it can infect us with something. For example ticks, I show no mercy. If I see one on my property or in my home, it’s dead.

      Another example, mosquitoes, they need to go extinct and all burn in hell. That and also bed bugs, fuck them too.

      I also wish ants were not that invasive, I love them but hell they can be annoying.

          They’re non-aggressive and avoid humans, but there’s always the risk they’ll get startled and bite in self-defense.

            Exactly right. They could be on your bed while you’re asleep… you roll over onto them or make a movement and bam… next thing you know you’re waking up in excruciating pain. And would suck if you can’t find what bit you… if I can’t find it and it looks pretty bad (worst than a bee or wasp sting), I’m more than likely going to the hospital.

      I have a pact with the spiders in my house. If I spot them running across the floor or on the ceiling or tucked away in a corner, they’re not bothering me, so I won’t bother them. If I see one in an inconvenient place like the dinner table or hanging from the ceiling in the middle of the room, I gently relocate them outdoors.

      But…if I’m lying in bed trying to go to sleep and I feel one crawling up my arm, it’s broken the pact, and it can’t be trusted to leave me alone anymore, so it gets a quick and painless death.

    the only animal/insect I kill are Cockroaches because they are nasty and ugly and come out of the sewer, but even the roaches I don’t like to kill with the shoe. I poison them with spray. Idk why. I do feel sorry for the roach but can’t have it walking around my house

      Aren’t we all just disgusting, ephemeral creatures crawling around the surface of this fragile rock hurtling through an uncaring void? :)

      Have you tried asking the roaches why they’re scurrying around your house on their disgusting little legs?

      Isn’t spraying with poison the more cruel way to kill it?
      Either it will die during an immediate fight for life or bring the poison to the nest, where all of them slowly die.

    I love bees! Sometimes I can’t help but gaze closely at them as they’re wedging themselves in the digitalis purpurea and working hard for their hive!
